Gina is the project manager for her organization and she is working with her project team to define
the project activities. In this project, the stakeholders are sensitive to the project completion date,
so Gina is stressing to her project team members that while they need to provide and account for
all of the project activities, they should focus on one work package in the WBS at a time. In order

to start the decomposition of the project work packages into activities, Gina will need all of the
following except for which one?

A.
Scope baseline

B.
Organizational process assets

C.
WBS

D.
Enterprise environmental factors

Explanation:
According to the PMBOK, Gina will not need the WBS directly, but will rely on the scope baseline.
A Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) in project management is a tool that defines a project and
groups the project’s discrete work elements in a way that helps organize and define the total work
scope of the project. A WBS element may be a product, data, a service, or any combination. WBS
also provides the necessary framework for detailed cost estimating and control along with
providing guidance for schedule development and control.
Answer option A is incorrect. The scope baseline is an input to define the project activities.
Answer option D is incorrect. Enterprise environmental factors are an input to define the project
activities.
Answer option B is incorrect. Organizational process assets are an input to define the project
activities.
